LG CNS will begin hiring new graduates for the second half of the year. The company aims to secure future talent through triple-digit hiring across nine job categories, including artificial intelligence and robotics.

LG CNS said Thursday that it will accept applications through Monday for positions spanning its major business areas. These include AI, robotics, consulting, DX engineering, cloud application modernization, architecture, ERP, smart factory and convergence engineering.

The company named AI as a core business area. Employees in AI roles will design and build AI models and services optimized for client businesses. New hires in this field can plan specialized agentic AI services across industries such as finance, the public sector, manufacturing and logistics. They also have the potential to grow into AI transformation experts who drive clients' business innovation.

LG CNS also described robotics as a field that will drive future growth. Employees in robotics roles will apply robots to industrial settings such as manufacturing and logistics, and test the feasibility of deploying next-generation robot technology on-site.

The company said it has been focusing on robot transformation. In May, it launched Physical Works, an integrated robot learning and operations platform — the first such platform released by a Korean company. Building on this, the company said new hires will be able to gain hands-on experience with robots and automation technology across various industrial sites.

Consulting roles involve analyzing business issues to develop AI and digital transformation strategies. DX engineers develop core systems and services for industries such as digital finance, the public sector and telecommunications.

Anyone holding a bachelor's degree or higher, or expected to graduate by February 2027, with IT capabilities may apply regardless of major. LG CNS said it will give preference to applicants with relevant experience and expertise in each of the nine job categories.

The hiring process consists of document screening, a written test, a job-specific interview and a final interview, in that order. The written test comprises an aptitude test and a newly introduced "CNS specialized test."

The CNS specialized test is a newly created screening step designed to assess candidates' interest in the latest technology trends and their ability to use AI. It will evaluate understanding of global technology and industry trends common to all positions. It will also include a test of generative AI skills, divided into coding-based and planning-based formats depending on the job applied for.

LG CNS said it hires new graduates twice a year, in spring and fall, and secures talent by strengthening industry-academia partnerships with various universities. The company recently held the "LG Connect N Sync" event in San Francisco, inviting master's and doctoral students from major local universities. Senior executives, including CEO Hyun Shin-kyun, attended the event.

According to LG CNS, Hyun has often emphasized that "success in technological competition ultimately depends on the people who execute the technology." Based on this philosophy, the company has made securing top talent a key management priority and is putting its full effort into discovering talent both in Korea and abroad.

An LG CNS official said, "We are focused on securing and developing talent who can turn technology into real value in core business areas such as AI and robotics," adding, "We will support new employees so that they can grow into experts in their respective fields through diverse project experience and systematic skill development after joining the company."
